How do I set accounts in Outlook 2007 to receive hotmail accounts.

[brucemcal]

I have been receiving my MSN email on Outlook using Verizon DSL and a
verizon/MSN program. Last week, verizon dropped the MSN service (I still
have an MSN hotmail account), and I can no longer receive my MSN email on
Outlook. E-mail is still there on Windows Live, but I hate Windows Live.
When I called Verizon, they told me that Microsoft had blocked all hotmail
accounts on Verizon.

This seems too incredible to be true. Has anyone else had a similar
problem? Is Microsoft really blocking hotmail accounts on Outlook?

The easiest way to download emails from Hotmail is to use Windows
Live Mail that can be downloaded free of charge from Microsoft
Website. The link is here:

<http://windowslive.com/desktop/mail>

Please download it by clicking on the above link and you are on
your way to enjoy a fantastic time to send and receive emails
using hotmail.

Verizon are a bunch of crooks misinforming its customers. It
makes absolutely no sense for Microsoft to block hotmail on
Verizon or anywhere else. Chinese can block but this is for
political reasons only. Microsoft bases all its decisions on
business reasons!
